2011 Map of Quanicassee

About this map

Saginaw Bay and the northern reaches of Lake Huron dominate the landscape of this coastal Michigan region in the early twenty-first century. The settlement of Quanicassee sits at the junction where the Quanicassee River empties into the bay, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural grid. This survey illustrates the transition from the marshy shoreline at Coryeon Point and Long Point to the highly structured inland road network characteristic of Tuscola County. Local infrastructure is defined by a dense system of section roads like N Reese Rd and Old State Rd, which support the farming communities near Bradleyville. The map captures the distinct interaction between the natural drainage of the river basin and the late twentieth-century development of the thumb region's coastline.
